The first day at the new gig went like any first day normally does. Paper-work and meeting lots of new folks. The office is in a part of town where I used to live, so I know it fairly well. This is a repeating theme, since the HP office was near my high school.
Since I got into the office early, I was able to swing one of my favorite coffee houses. While the customer base has changed a bit from 20 years ago (more suits and no nose-rings) and the menu has a bit more on it (beer, anyone?), the coffee drinks were the same, and they tasted as good as I remember.
The picture is of the old street sign post on the corner of the property.

Growing up in Houston, I have followed our space program off and on. I
am also a big reader of Sci-Fi. So, when I heard about the [Solar Sail
Kickstarter
Project](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/theplanetarysociety/lightsail-a-revolutionary-solar-sailing-spacecraft/description)
from [The Planetary Society](https://www.planetary.org/), I jumped on
board. And, while they have raised almost 4 times their goal, I think
that this is a project which will have more of an impact on humanity
than some of the other projects.
So, join me in backing them!

Well, after 4 years (almost to the day), it is time for me to say good-bye to HP. The team I worked on is a great team who really know their stuff. However, I am a geek, and I want to be doing things with tech, and not talking about tech, and for the most part, talking is all I have been doing. I have learned a lot and was given a chance to do some [traveling \<travels\>]{role="doc"} which I do not think I would have been able to do.
So, where am I going? Well, until after I start and get on-boarded, I am not sure how much I can say. It is a financial company based in Houston, so I will not be moving the crew, just changing the direction I commute back to into the sun again.
Stay tuned here for more updates, and I will probably be using this as a place to document some of the new things I learn on the way.
Peace.

title = "Updates to AUR packages"
categories = ["software"]

So, with the [migration of the AUR to version 4](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#AUR_4), I looked at the 12 AUR packages I had created over the years which I have not looked at in a long, long time.
The list started out with:
- [chronicle](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/chronicle/) - A simple blog compiler written in Perl
- [perl-leocharre-basename](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/perl-leocharre-basename/) - Very basic filename string and path operations such as ext and paths
- [perl-leocharre-cli2](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/perl-leocharre-cli2/) - Some quick help for writing cli scripts
- [perl-leocharre-debug](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/perl-leocharre-debug/) - Debug subroutines
- [perl-leocharre-dir](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/perl-leocharre-dir/) - Subroutines for general directory needs
- [perl-leocharre-strings](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/perl-leocharre-strings/) - Combines string procedures I frequently use
- [perl-string-prettify](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/perl-string-prettify/) - Subroutines to cleanup a filename and or garble for human eyes
- perl-wordpress-api - Management of Wordpress API objects. Inherits WordPress::XMLRPC and all its methods
- [perl-wordpress-cli](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/perl-wordpress-cli/) - Command line access to Wordpress
- [perl-wordpress-xmlrpc](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/perl-wordpress-xmlrpc/) - API to Wordpress XML RPC calls
- [usbmount](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/usbmount/) - Automatically mount and unmount USB mass storage devices
- [xlhttp](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xlhtml/) - An Excel spreadsheet (.xls) and PowerPoint (.ppt) to HTML converter
In the end, I only kept *xlhttp* as I do not use the others anymore. Surprisingly enough, only one of the packages (*chronicle*) was out of date. I disowned all the others, so if you want, you can pick them up.
***Edit 2020-04-07**: Seems that no one picked up _perl-wordpress-api_ as the link to it no longer works*

Once more, off the Las Vegas for to work a trade show. This year, I was
helping present training, so I was tucked away in a basement most of the
trip, and did not get out to do much in the way of sight-seeing aside
from walking around the hotel.

But, I did find time to snap a few pictures.
